Need to rewrite dialog to build table of available updates instead of using QMessageBox. See attachments for current dialog.

Feedback from Elaine:

Hi Greg,
That's pretty fancy. I'd say to simplify, if the point is to make it easy for people to update without having to think too much. Maybe it could be something like the following, where brackets indicate [link text]:

ChimeraX Update Available

You are currently running UCSF Chimera version 1.1.

Click here to download the newest available release for your system:

[UCSF ChimeraX 1.2.5]

You can get other releases and daily builds from the [ChimeraX download page].

Just my 2 cents' ... totally willing to be outvoted, others should weigh in.
Thanks for working on it!

Feedback from Tom Goddard:

Hi Greg,

I agree with Elaine that the update dialog only needs to show the most recent ChimeraX available.

Also maybe instead of the "Ignore" check button it would be slightly clearer to use a "Remind me later" check button (by default checked).

Does the ChimeraX download link bring up the user's default web browser or does it do the download with the ChimeraX browser? I think it would be better if it used the user's default browser.

Incorporated suggestions from Elaine and Tom. Kept the ability to display multiple releases in ChimeraX. Whether or not the backend web service provides multiple releases to the frontend can be changed. In practice, there should only be one release shown.
